Текст песни
That night on your roof, somebody set the stars loose
You brought a blanket, I brought strawberry wine
And we waited on the sky, dusk on the 4th of July
You kept my hands from crossing the line
And when the fireworks exploded, the night it was recorded
Like a movie I play it back in my mind
Hey, I wrote this song to thank you
For a sacred night that rang true
Once upon a summertime
The sky turned to flame
I carved our names
Beneath the magnolia, I told you my heart wouldn't change
Do your eyes still shine like it's summertime?
At the drive-in we'd meet in the Buick's back seat
And find the Crackerjack prize in the dark
And back home your father would come out
He'd say, "What was the movie about?"
I said a ghost, you said a great white shark
Now did I dream you like some vision?
You moved me like religion
Like a prophet, I said you'll be mine
I was singing hallelujah, ain't love so peculiar
When spring gives into summertime
The sky turned to flame
I carved our names
Beneath the magnolia, I told you my heart wouldn't change
Do your eyes still shine like it's summertime?
Oh, how could I lose?
How could you refuse?
After the very first time, everything changes
Oh, everything change, changes, changes
The sky turned to flame
You called my name
Beneath the magnolia, I told you my heart wouldn't change
Do your eyes still shine like it's summertime?
